Its usually hot, they don't always have the units you want to see, and the food sucks. But, the RV lifestyle is not about minimizing costs. If you live within a drive-able distance, why not go?
For us, we have been to the Pomona show several times and it gets old. We are curious about the Quartsite show. Its free, larger, and maybe some better deals?
